Both our day trading models are short. One has a wide stop and the other just snugged the stop to B/E. Looking for 226175 then 225850.

 

I really  have no idea  how this one plays out. Very mixed sentiment and technicals.

Covered. Small gain for one model, smaller loss for the other. We have to step out.

BTW, of tangential interest, these two models are complimentary and derive from almost the same indicators. The first is as mechanical as I can tolerate, with wider stops. The second allows me much more discretion and uses much tighter stops, and in fact snugs them down. The win ratio on the second model is better, but the trades are fewer and the average gain is a bit less.

I've found that the first model keeps me a bit more honest with the second model, so that I take more trades, which seems to improve performance.

 

On Friday, Model 1 (10/10) lost  0.75 on a half position. Model 2 (5/10) made 2.25.
